Diana Churchill
built 644 days ago
Though she was often mistaken for the daughter of Winston Churchill, actress "Diana Churchill" was no relation to the great British leader. She spent most of her decades-long career on stage and was at the peak of her popularity during the 1950s and 1960s. She debuted in "Service for Ladies" (1931); her subsequent film career includes "Sally Bishop" (1932), "The Dominant Sex" (1937), "Yes Madam?" (1938), and "Scott of the Antarctic" (1948). Churchill made her final film appearance in 1949's "The History of Miss Polly". During the 1960s, the illness of her spouse ("Barry K. Barnes") caused her to retire from acting. He died in 1965 and, not long after, Churchill developed multiple sclerosis.

Diana Churchill was Unity's second cousin. Her grandmother, Lady Blanche Hozier, was the sister of Grandmother Redesdale. Unity occasionally visited Chartwell, the Churchill estate, but not as often as her older siblings, Diana and Tom, who were the regular playmates of Winston's kids, Diana and Randolph Churchill--a fact which may or may not have something to do with what happened to Unity after 1939.

Wallflower Jane Wilton (Diana Churchill) has always lived in the shadow of her beautiful and popular sister Beatrice (Jean Muir). Making things worse, Beatrice is spiteful and cruel, directing all manner of nastiness towards the supplicative and uncomplaining Jane. But when Beatrice sets her cap for Jane's erstwhile boy friend Basil Gilbert (Peter Murray Hill), she goes a shade too far. For once, the worm turns, and Jane fights tooth and nail to win her man back.
